While any adaptation of Charles Dickens’ Christmas quintessential ghost story qualifies, especially Scrooged, though they rarely venture too far into full blown horror. The BBC’s miniseries does just that with a foreboding atmosphere, witchcraft, and a slew of menacing ghosts and haunted memories. Guy Pearce stars as Ebenezer Scrooge, a miser visited by a trio of Christmas ghosts to change his selfish ways or else. In a much grimmer telling of the Dickens classic, expect Scrooge to get scared straight in a much more menacing form.
